Morphology

beety = beet (transparent) = beet + y

Formed by the productive adjectival suffix '-y' on the noun 'beet', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Beety comes from the vegetable beet and the little ending -y, where beet is the red root vegetable and -y means 'like' or 'full of'. So beety means 'tasting, looking, or smelling like a beet'.
